Charlie Crocker's Italian Job

Guns and Gold
This is one cool movie with its fun, witty dialogue and cliff-hanger suspense.

During a British Italian football season and amidst a massive Turin traffic jam, USD 4 million worth of bullion gold  deposited by the Chinese government was hijacked through three Mini-Coopers.

That the whole heist was supported from a British prison and by  inmate mob boss, Berger lends incredibility to the movie.

Lovely movie from way back(1969) and totally watchable.

Michael Caine hits the high notes playing Charlie in this superbly iconic British effort.

Hurray for the British!
